Death Scene Cleanup of the Rich and Famous

Sunday, December 26th, 2010

The nationally-known wrestler lived comfortably in his mansion in John’s Creek right outside of Atlanta. However, at times he would experience enormous anger, reflective of someone on steroids or certain kinds of amphetamines. He also possessed a robust sexual life often extending beyond the confines of sex with his wife. Often in the evening their palatial abode became a swinger’s paradise.

On one evening he saw his wife with another man shortly after he had been with another woman himself. His rage engulfed him so completely; he physically slugged the other man causing, among other things, the man’s head to bust open as they made impact with piece of heavy granite sculpture positioned near a wall. The victim responded by taking a fire poker, located barely within his limited reach, and spearing the wrestler by piercing him in the neck. As the wrestler began having breathing problems and realized he could not make a sound with his voice, he backed up to a closet in the same room and found a shotgun which he immediately cocked and proceeded to fire a single fatal shot disposing of his wife’s recent paramour. Immediately thereafter, the native of nearby Marietta aimed the muzzle at this mouth and blew himself to smithereens.

Shortly after the police responded, they recommended to a representative of the deceased wrestler’s wife, that he retain a suicide clean up company to dispose of the remains from the suicide scene. The suicide clean up company conducted themselves with the kind of professional grace, while performing their cleanup duties that exhibits their appreciation of the difficulty that shocked mourners have in the wake of such a tragedy.

Suicide Scene Cleanup Company Spares Family Distress

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

Nobody had really seen it coming. The bright-eyed boy, who was successful in sports, liked by his peers, and near the top of his class in school seemed to have everything going for him. It was only after they found the note he left that they figured it out. He had recently caught his girlfriend of four years, a woman he intended to marry, with another man. When he discovered them together he swiftly told her he never wanted to see her again and that he would leave her belongings in boxes outside his apartment. For a week he ignored her repeated calls. He then sent her a letter reiterating that it was over and asking her not to ever call him again. As he had not evidenced any emotion, she never thought he might take any drastic action.

They found him the day after he sent her the letter. He had used his hunting rifle to do the sad deed.  He had committed suicide. The landlord was spooked about it. The police gave him the name and number of a suicide clean up company. This company also specialized in accident scene cleanups, crime scene cleanups, homicide scene cleanups, blood scene cleanups, meth lab cleanups, odor removal cleanups and death scene cleanups were well equipped to handle the remains. They removed all of his remaining cartilage and tissue and soaked up the blood with a specialized product. Then they cleaned the entire apartment and disinfected it again to verify there was no biohazardous organic material left.

Thanks to the good work of the suicide scene cleaners when his parents visited the apartment on the next day, there were spared the horror of seeing the way the apartment had looked just sixteen hours earlier. They refused to visit his ex-girlfriend as that was just too painful for them. They did embrace at the funeral but that was the end of it.

The Aftermath of Suicide: A Family’s Story

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Looking back over the events of a family member’s suicide is sobering. After going out to the shed, I discovered my 52- year old daughter, recently convicted but yet to be jailed, had left a note and committed suicide, leaving behind two college-age kids and the rest of her family. In the aftermath of her death, we are in deep grief.

The police were very kind. They acted very professionally and were very careful not to say anything that was insensitive or inappropriate. They also made things much easier for us by calling in a suicide scene cleaner company. These suicide cleaner companies, which also frequently perform accident scene, crime scene, homicide scene, trauma scene, meth lab, odor removal and death scene cleanups, are in charge of removing those remains that do not go to the coroner’s or medical examiner’s office.

The staff of the suicide scene cleanup company was very professional and courteous. It makes it much easier when people are sensitive to how difficult it is in such a time of grieving. It also makes it easier to know that the physical evidence of this tragic suicide is removed from our premises. The last thing we would want is one of her daughters stumbling upon a patch of her mom’s blood or tissue when they visit. While I am in deep in sorrow and imagine I always will be, the professionalism of the police and the suicide cleaning company was certainly a salve to our personal wound.

Suicide Scene Cleanup: Speeding The Healing

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

Suicide cleaner companies frequently address some of the most difficult and emotionally strenuous situations when performing their assigned jobs. Often when an individual commits suicide someone plays the role of liaison from the family to those officials who have to respond to the tragedy. Once someone from the family contacts a suicide cleaner company the person managing the cleanup can act as an agent dealing with the police, the landlord (if applicable), other people who had relationships with the deceased. What often happens is that, in the course of planning to clean and then decontaminate a space in which a suicide has occurred, the supervisor of the cleanup must act with the kind of extreme care and deference that other types of professionals, like clergymen and doctors, exercise regularly. Accordingly, the expertise of these companies transcends the physical duties involved in a suicide cleanup.

Since many suicide scene cleaner companies also engage in homicide scene cleanings, blood scene cleanings, trauma scene cleanings and accident scene cleanings, its staff is usually trained, not unlike a staff of a funeral home or mortuary, to go about their business with the utmost sensitivity to the feelings and needs of the deceased’s family, loved ones and friends. This kind of sensitivity to the emotions of those grieving complements the sensitivity the employees of these suicide cleaner companies have with regard to their cleaning tasks. The success of an exemplary suicide scene cleaner company is to not only dispose of that which is easily seen but also to determine where other tissue or liquid is located so as to dispose of all potentially hazard materials. This attention to detail in these tasks reinforces a sense of being careful in every aspect of the job.

No one ever anticipates having to deal with the sadness of suicide. The more that family members, roommates, landlords or lovers can be helped during this difficult period of extreme sorrow, the better. The onus must fall on those people who do not share the personal relationship and experience with the decedent. The staff of a professional suicide scene cleaner company amply and consistently meets this challenge.

Landlord Faces Suicide Cleanup

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Prior to March 1st John Stephens, a landlord of a multi-unit apartment complex receives a notice from one of his tenants, named Robert, that Robert wishes to exercise his option to terminate the lease at the end of his lease term on March 31. As thirty-day notice is all that is required under the provisions of the lease, Robert satisfies the requisite notice requirement. Expecting him to move out as indicated, Stephens places ads for the upcoming vacancy and interviews several prospective tenants. After a series of interviews and chances to show the apartment, one of the applicants comes in and signs a lease and plans to move in by April the 5th. Stephens contacts Robert and says that he needs to do a walkthrough before the 31st to see if any of the apartment was damaged and then determine how much of the security deposit should be returned to Robert, if any.

When Stephens does not hear back from Robert by the 29th of March, he goes over and knocks on Robert’s door but gets no answer. He returns to his office and calls Robert but no one picks up. He notices Robert’s car is in the parking lot. Finally on the 31st getting nervous that he has insufficient time to get the unit ready for the incoming tenant, he gets the custodian to unlock the door. Before the door is even completely opened, Stephens can tell that an acrid smell permeates the air. When he walks in, he sees blood everywhere and a severely mutilated corpse. Lying beside the corpse is a shotgun. Robert has apparently committed suicide.

Stephens feels sick as does his custodian. After calling the police, he wonders how he is going to get the unit ready for the new tenant coming in on the 5th. That’s when he decides to contact a suicide scene cleaner company. This company which also does accident scene cleanups, crime scene cleanups, homicide scene cleanups, meth lab cleanups, odor removal cleanups and other death scene cleanups is at the unit later that day. They assess the damage, consult with police, begin disposing of loose tissue and scouring the flooring, carpet and drapes to eliminate all the blood and then use additional solvents to sanitize the apartment. Finally they use some sprays and chemicals to remove the odor completely. By the end of the day, Stephens can worry about removing the furniture and other personal property of the deceased. Before the 5th, the apartment is ready for the new tenants. Stephens feels horrible about the incident but is thankful that he had the option of bringing in the suicide scene cleaner company.
